    If the rental property was available to be rented during the year (whether or not you had tenants), add this activity under Rental Properties and Royalties.

     

    Even though you had no rental income, you can still report expenses to maintain the property and depreciate the rental assets.

     

    If, however, you haven't actually listed the property as available to be rented, any expenses you incurred increase the basis of the property. Mortgage interest and property taxes may be reported as itemized deductions.
